Product details
Overview
AP7383-18Y-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 150mA ultra-low dropout (ULDO) linear regulator in SOT89 package, featuring 30V max input voltage, 500mV dropout at 50mA, ±1% output accuracy, and 1.8µA quiescent current - designed for USB-powered instrumentation and portable battery-operated systems requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the AP7383-18Y-13 datasheet, AP7383-18Y-13 pinout, AP7383-18Y-13 application, or AP7383-18Y-13 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, SOT89 terminal mapping, and real-world use cases for low-power embedded power management.
Technical Context
The AP7383-18Y-13 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuit to maintain regulation across 3.5–30V input while delivering 1.8V ±1% over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its internal enable logic supports external ON/OFF control via the EN pin in W5 variants, though the SOT89 (Y) package uses a fixed-enable configuration with no EN terminal.
Thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +20°C hysteresis, and the device achieves excellent line regulation (0.05%/V) and load regulation (0.5%) using only 1µF ceramic input/output capacitors - eliminating need for electrolytic or tantalum components in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% - ensures stable core voltage for 1.8V microcontrollers and low-power sensors |
| Max Input Voltage | 30V - supports direct connection to unregulated 24V industrial rails or automotive battery inputs |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV @ 50mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 2.3V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline battery operation |
| Quiescent Current | 1.8µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on IoT edge nodes and battery-backed systems |
| Current Limit | 150mA - provides short-circuit protection without external current-sense resistors |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with +20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
| ESD Rating | 2500V HBM - enhances robustness against handling-induced transients in manufacturing and field service |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 package (3-pin, TO-243AA), thermally enhanced with exposed tab connected to GND - requires minimum 25mm² copper pour on PCB for optimal thermal dissipation at full 150mA load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts 3.5–30V DC; decoupled by 1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal path; must be tied directly to large copper area |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 1.8V output; drives load up to 150mA with <0.5% load regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide-input operation | 3.5–30V input range eliminates need for pre-regulation in multi-rail systems |
| Ultra-low IQ | 1.8µA ground current at zero load enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1µF X5R/X7R ceramics - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives |
| High accuracy output | ±1% initial tolerance and ±100ppm/°C tempco ensure reliable logic-level compliance across temperature |
| Thermal protection | Auto-recovery shutdown prevents latch-up during transient overloads or ambient temperature spikes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ULDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700-1802E/TO | 250mV dropout @ 250mA, but only 6V max input; 1.6µA IQ | Limited to low-input applications (e.g., 3.3V or 5V rails); unsuitable for 24V industrial use | Select when input ≤6V and lower dropout is prioritized over input voltage range |
| TPS7A0518PDBVR | 170mV dropout @ 200mA, 5.5V max input, integrated thermal foldback | Requires pre-regulation for >5.5V sources; higher cost per unit in SOT23-5 | Choose for ultra-low-dropout needs in compact 3.3V/5V systems where board space is constrained |
Compared with MCP1700-1802E/TO and TPS7A0518PDBVR, the AP7383-18Y-13 uniquely balances 30V input capability, 1.8V output accuracy, and SOT89 thermal performance - making it the only option among the three viable for direct 24V-to-1.8V conversion without external FETs or buck stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for AP7383-18Y-13?
The AP7383-18Y-13 is rated for 150mA continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ +125°C, with adequate PCB copper for heat dissipation). Absolute maximum rating is 200mA, but sustained operation above 150mA requires derating based on thermal resistance (θJA = 118°C/W for SOT89) and ambient temperature.
Does AP7383-18Y-13 include an enable pin?
No. The AP7383-18Y-13 in SOT89 package has no enable (EN) pin - it operates in fixed-enable mode. Enable functionality is only available in the SOT25 (W5/WR/WW) variants, which feature a dedicated EN terminal. This simplifies layout for always-on applications but removes external ON/OFF control capability.
Can AP7383-18Y-13 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes. The AP7383-18Y-13 is explicitly designed for stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors - a 1µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is sufficient for both input and output. No series ESR or additional compensation components are required, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB footprint.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of AP7383-18Y-13?
The device enters thermal shutdown at +160°C junction temperature and automatically recovers once junction temperature falls by +20°C hysteresis (i.e., below +140°C). During shutdown, VOUT drops to near-zero, and the regulator resumes normal operation without external reset - providing self-protecting behavior during transient overloads or inadequate heatsinking.
